Help my son out...

My son wants to go to art college next year. I'm helping him to put together a portfolio of work on a CD, so that he doesn't have to carry all the pottery and paintings on wood that he's ever done.

We'll deliver it as a web site with no bandwidth problems. It's all static images, so HTML should be OK.

I'm looking for hints on scripting (javascript, presumably) which will control any browser so that all you see is what we produce. No menu bar, no status bar, and the only navigation should be what we design into the pages. The javascript documentation I have is very dry and formal. Can anybody suggest techniques or documentation on the web that we would find useful?

Good suggestions so far. How about something really simple - javascript to set the window size on load to - say - 750x550, with no resize options and no navigation menu or toolbar so that the web pages have to contain all the options.
